Steph Strings to Release New Album “Feel Alive” This Friday
Steph Strings, a talented multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Melbourne, is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in her musical journey in early 2026. Her highly anticipated debut album, titled ‘Feel Alive’, is scheduled for release on January 9, 2026. Alongside this thrilling announcement, Steph is treating her fans to a brand-new single and accompanying music video called ‘Devil Woman’, which was unveiled recently.
‘Devil Woman’ is a captivating country-pop track that showcases Steph’s exceptional guitar skills and powerful vocals. Filled with driving beats, hypnotic melodies, and hazy textures, the song exudes a bluesy swagger reminiscent of music legends like Elvis Presley and John Butler. Drawing inspiration from iconic female villains such as Cruella de Vil and Maleficent, the track delves into the concept of an unchanging evil woman, both fictional and real. In Steph’s words, “‘Devil Woman’ is about an evil woman that will never change.”
Crafted under the expert production of Jared Adlam, who won the 2023 GCMA Producer of the Year award, and masterful mastering by George Georgiadis, ‘Devil Woman’ embodies a fresh sound for Steph. The song’s music video, produced by OneHouse Productions, embarks on a new visual journey beyond her coastal aesthetic, capturing the essence of dusty Americana as seen in the desolate landscapes of Little River, Victoria. The video, shot in the back of an old truck speeding down a dusty road, encapsulates an adventurous country vibe with banjos, silos, and a mysterious allure.
Teaming up with renowned producer Tim Hart and others for ‘Feel Alive’, Steph’s debut album is a musical tapestry woven with elements of folk, rock, country, and pop. Each track on the album reflects themes of gratitude, chasing dreams, and longing, while showcasing Steph’s versatility as an artist. From the folk-tinged opener ‘Gratefully’ to the dreamy ‘Waterfall’ and the spirited ‘Three Wishes’, the album navigates a spectrum of emotions and musical styles, culminating in a moving finale with ‘To Be Loved’. Steph’s distinctive sound and evocative lyricism shine through every song on the album, establishing her as a captivating storyteller.
